Is autodata supposedly hard to get hold of? Ive been downloading it for my mechanic for years and have loads of different versions of it!

I'll wing it. No one seems to have done one recently. How hard can it be?

I can swap a clutch without removing the gearbox. Sure i can master a scratty rubber oil seal.
